Beau needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Perth

Without my school-run minibus Beau can't work; a $1,750 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. Without the vehicle I earn nothing. I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask. I support my two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four months if I can just get the vehicle working. I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,750 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $200 • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,150 • Labor charges: $400 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

            Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Chennai!
